French settlements in North America

French people settled in North America mainly during a period beginning with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with the cession of New France, i.e. from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, to Spain and Great Britain in 1763

Do it yourself

Genealogy is fun, you know that, but looking into French ancestor history is different from the American family history.

We can help you creating research plans for your discovery and providing you with methods and resources.
